LCM for 100 and 120
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 100 and 120?
(Six hundred)
Finding LCM for 100 and 120 using GCF's of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 100 and 120 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 100 and 120 is 20, so
LCM = (100 × 120) ÷ 20
LCM = 12000 ÷ 20
LCM = 600
Finding LCM for 100 and 120 by Listing Multiples
The second method to find LCM for numbers 100 and 120 is to list out the common multiples for both nubmers and pick the first which matching:
Multiples of 100: 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800
Multiples of 120: 120, 240, 360, 480, 600, 720, 840
So the LCM for 100 and 120 is 600
Finding LCM for 100 and 120 by Prime Factorization
Another method to find LCM for numbers 100 and 120 is to list all Prime Factors for both numbers and multiply the highest exponent prime factors:
All Prime Factors of 100: 2, 2, 5, 5 (exponent form: 22, 52)
All Prime Factors of 120: 2, 2, 2, 3, 5 (exponent form: 23, 31, 51)
23 × 52 × 31 = 600
